Welcome

Chances
are if you found our site, you are interested in patriotism, education
and historic preservation. Those are the underlying objects of
our Society.

The Sons of the American
Revolution is a non-profit, non-political
organization that was founded in 1889. Today there are chapters
in every state. Joining SAR provides many opportunities to serve
your community. Any man is eligible to join who is at least 18
years old and can prove lineal descent from an ancestor who was loyal
to or provided service in the cause of American independence.
Many types of service qualify, so contact us if you need help.

The Lewis and Clark
Chapter meetings are normally held the fourth Monday of each month
(except during the summer months). The meetings traditionally
begin at 7:30
p.m. Other special events include a Presidents Day banquet in
February,
a picnic or outing in May, a program in June to honor award recipients
and a Christmas party in December.

Founded in
1980, the Lewis & Clark Chapter now covers St. Clair, Monroe,
Randolph, Washington, Jefferson, and Clinton counties in
Illinois.

During the last year,
the Lewis and Clark chapter presented 23
Outstanding Student Awards to area high school students and awarded a
$500 scholarship to a graduating senior. The
chapter presents awards (including
SAR Outstanding Citizenship, SAR Law Enforcement, SAR Fire Safety, and
SAR Heroism and SAR Flag Awards) as are merited.
The chapter is especially proud of its efforts in promoting the
historic importance of local landmarks. Other events include
participation in the Belleville Memorial Day
parade, a Christmas party, a Presidents Day Celebration, and a picnic
or special outing in May. Please join us for our
Presidents Day Celebration on February 18, 2013.
